@A MyMSTeam Member That can seem scary to have to start over , but you will adjust and you might even Love it , and make really great friendships, you never know who you will meet .
The knowledge you have earned can never be taken away from you and you can use it a way that you never thought you would. How about an online tutor ? There are online programs that you can do from home and teach kids different things or even people in other countries ! Write a book, get creative !! It’s ok to feel depressed ,but it’s his might be a really good thing for you
Yay!! Moving is always fun yet stressful; but you’ll be able to make new friends and with your charisma and education I’m sure you’ll cope very well 🤗
I love the support I get! Thank you all so much :)
I feel this so much, @A MyMSTeam Member, and the stress is real, but letting go of the old me also is empowering. "I once was" is a mantra we often hold, but we can all evolve!
Don’t be overwhelmed by the changes. Take things at YOUR pace. I feel the same way. I earned my MBA in 1998 and was dx 2 years later. I worked FT while taking my MBA classes at Night. I am quite sure that burning the candle at both ends accelerated the onset of MS. All of that while juggling GF —> fiancé—>then wife 2 months after finishing. Not a bad thing, but a lot of stress. Shortly after I returned from our honeymoon, I was promoted to the Manager of our Cost/Price Proposal Development Team at work. No high stress, deadline driven work that had the highest executive visibility. That couldn’t have been a stressful job…..🤷🏻♂️
